What is the characteristic feature of Bartholin's Abscess?

It causes intense abdominal pain
It produces a visible lump on one side of the vaginal opening
It is typically self-resolving
It leads to systemic infection

The correct answer is: It produces a visible lump on one side of the vaginal opening

Bartholin's Abscess is characterized by the formation of a lump or swelling on one side of the vaginal opening, which is a direct result of an obstruction in the Bartholin glands. When these glands become blocked, usually due to inflammation or infection, fluid accumulates, leading to the development of an abscess. This visible lump is often tender, and its presence is a key indicator of the condition. The other options do not accurately describe the specific feature of a Bartholin's Abscess. While abdominal pain can sometimes occur, it is not a defining characteristic. Self-resolution can happen in some cases, but medical intervention is often required for significant abscesses. Lastly, while infections may stem from the abscess, systemic infection is not a typical feature associated specifically with Bartholin's Abscess itself.
